I build scalable, high-performing Workplace & Operations functions that enable employees, leaders, and businesses to operate efficiently across locations and markets. With 12+ years of experience across Workplace Operations, Facilities, Business Administration, Employee Experience, Global Travel, Events, Procurement, and Vendor Management, I specialise in creating operational frameworks that combine service excellence, process discipline, cost optimisation, and employee experience. My experience spans technology, SaaS, startup, and multi-location environments, supporting operations across India and international markets including the US, Mexico, Brazil, APAC and EMEA. My focus sits at the intersection of Global Workplace Strategy, Business Operations, Employee Experience, and Operational Excellence — helping organisations move from reactive administration to structured, scalable operations. Global Workplace & Facilities Operations I lead workplace and facilities operations covering office infrastructure, coworking environments, space planning, workplace services, maintenance, compliance, employee requirements, and business continuity. I work closely with leadership, employees, landlords, facilities teams, and service providers to deliver reliable and efficient workplaces. Global Travel & Mobility I manage global travel and visa operations across multiple countries, supporting employee and leadership travel, visa documentation, travel platforms, vendors, policies, and operational processes. My experience includes MMT, Egencia and Expensify. Vendor Management, Procurement & Cost Optimisation I manage the end-to-end vendor lifecycle, including sourcing, quotations, onboarding, contracts, renewals, service delivery, invoices, and performance management. I focus on improving commercial outcomes while maintaining service quality. Employee Experience & Leadership Support I deliver workplace experiences and operational programs supporting employees and leadership, including All Hands, executive meetings, events, leadership programs, workplace services, and employee engagement initiatives. Operational Excellence I enjoy taking complex operational challenges, creating structure around them, improving processes, and building scalable solutions that reduce manual effort and improve stakeholder experience. I’m particularly interested in opportunities where I can lead Global Workplace, Workplace Experience, Business Operations, Facilities, Employee Experience, or Operations Excellence programs and contribute at both strategic and execution levels.
